Some of you had seen my post about a construction site in Fond du Lac, WI that had produced six IH, a barber dime, a merc and many relics. Well I made it back to that site to find it mostly covered up and found nothing. So I decided to head to another part of town where I knew they were tearing up sidewalks. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were working in a very old area of town. I did not find much, but it was fun. I saw something I have never seen before without the detector, that is an original sidewalk with the date marked on it...1912. I thought that was cool! Finds were 1913, 1947 wheat and some odds n ends.

I haven't seen a sidewalk like that before... definitely cool.
Congrats on finding some keepers. Boy, that house on the corner sure looks inviting. :daydream:
I'm going to try and get out tomorrow for some hunting. Got a good feeling about a new site.
Good luck on your next hunt.

I would like to do a old sidewalk rip out. Some prime undetected dirt there. Cool that sidewalk had a date stamp

Congrats on that find. I love sidewalk tearouts. Everything beneath that cement has been there for years.

Very cool finds, I particuarly liked the dated sidewalk, it gives you a real good idea on what you have a chance of finding.
